Top East Side Hotel Reviews

Travelodge by Wyndham Downtown Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were amazing, friendly, and very helpful. The cleaning lady was also wonderful and kept everything clean and comfortable. However, the air conditioning needs maintenance or an upgrade because it was very loud."

Hilton Chicago/Magnificent Mile Suites

10/10 Excellent

"excelente hotel, la atencion al cliente inmejorable, el cuarto muy limpio y grande, la ubicacion en el centro del downtown, el bar restaurante tiene un servicio muy eficiente, y lo mejor es que a las 6.00 am ya empiezan a brindarte servicio, en fin lo volveria a elegir de visitar chicago."

Congress Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good

"Historic hotel with great historic feel with updated amenities. Right near lots of things (millennium park). Only con: Ordered food to take back to our room in the lounge, and they were running behind so the bartender said he could call up to my room when ready for me to come get. After an hour I attempted to call them (they have no phone I’m told). I went down and found our food was sitting in the counter. Got it up to our room and food was cold. Frustrated that I didn’t get the call or just told to come back down at a certain time. I should have gone back, because it was a large order, but we were exhausted & at that point just wanted some food so we could go to bed. Otherwise the hotel was great"

The Chicago Hotel Collection Ambassador Gold Coast

8/10 Good

"Contrasted with prior hotel management the hotel has taken on a starkly modern room appearance. Everything is functional if less warm. I believe this is to accommodate its pets welcome policy. You will find lots of people staying here with their furry friends as a result."
